@icysloth: I turned 20 day before yesterday. What's age gotta do with anything?
OK, and how old is she? A boarding school is usually like, middle-school and junior high. Did you misspeak in your OP?
She is 17.
OK, not a big age difference at all; but at this age, she's likely just getting the tail-end of puberty, so that's something to take into consideration with her apparently changing attitude towards you. You might need to accept the fact that she might not ever feel the same about you, and it might not completely be your fault. It depends on what you said. If you said "you're a bitch, you whiny little jerk", that's probably a major factor lol. But her age is a factor as well.
My advice is, don't get too into people until you're early 20's and the other person is as well, possibly even a little bit later; it's generally a much more secure way to be in the relationship you seem to have had, which is one where you put all your faith and happiness in the other person, hoping they reciprocate it. That's a very mature and loving thing to do (usually; calling her every day might be a bit overboard though, might wanna curb that habit, save that kind of commitment for marriage usually (if one is not committed enough for marriage, but keeps calling every day, that probably makes people think you're creepy, y'know? Not saying you are, but she probably was bothered by it)), but that means that most people won't understand it until they're past puberty and actually starting their own life and starting to be their own person, making complex decisions for themselves. If you do it too early, as you've found out, in most cases, for one reason or another, those relationships don't last, and one or both people in the relationship are left as husks of their former selves for a time.
Also, there's never only one person for each other person in the world. Nobody is "perfect", which means that there are different people with different combinations of attributes you will find both annoying and amazing, in different amounts as well (for example, the difference between a stand-up comic and someone who can make jokes occasionally). Don't be discouraged if you think that someone is wonderful and it doesn't work out; there are thousands, probably millions of people that would make excellent spouses later on in life, for every other person out there. In other words, there are plenty of fish in the sea.
Mathematically speaking, at least, what are the odds that, assuming you meet 10 new, unique people every day, in a mildly deep manner (this number is greatly exaggerated from what is actually true), and there are always around 7 billion people on average in the world throughout your life, and you live to be 100 years old... You meet a total of 365,000 people, and that means you have a roughly 1 in 19,000 chance of meeting the one person who's meant for you. That's baloney. If that were true, there'd only be ~18,500 married or engaged/super serious couples in America that don't get divorced and stay relatively happy. I doubt that.
I don't know if there's much you can do though, for your current relationship. Give her some space and time to herself, then show up at her doorstep (if you can, or skype her) and try and calmly, non-overly-emotionally (since being clingy is not a great attribute in most people), tell her you want to talk about it and try and fix the relationship. If she says it's over at that point, let it be done. She's probably not the one for you. Don't forget my first point, that she's probably just hit the tail-end of puberty and her tastes and moods and attitudes and personality are all changing still. Even for girls, it's safe to assume that until the age of 21, nobody is at a very stable point in their personal life compared to where they might be when they turn 21 in a few years, and everything about them is still up in the air. For some people, they don't even fully mature until mid twenties or later; mature being used in the sense of finding ones' self, not in the sense of when someone stops thinking girls have cooties. In other words, let her be who she wants to be, since she's still maturing, and if she really doesn't want to be with you anymore, it might suck a LOT at first, but that's the way it's gotta be. It'll get better.
TLDR: Read it anyway :D I out-did myself in this post.
